Plus support for the AMD 64. Frankly, I started with Red Hat with 6.2 and liked it. I also liked KDE, um, let's not start a war here, just my preference. I was eagerly anticipating the new version of Red Hat and the new version of KDE only to find they dumped both KDE and Gnome for BlueCurve. Ticked me off, by I adapted. Now they are dumping the desktop and going to the server. Fine, I have all my RH servers here, but on the desktop, I may be looking back to Suse. I had tried it on a spare PC once and it worked well. Looks like I have to pull out my old PCs again and load Mandrake and Suse so that I can evaluate them. Frankly, I feel that Red Hat is becoming the Linux version of MS in dictating to you. I remember when going to Linux meant choice, so I will exercise my right of choice and find another distro. I will still support Red Hat on the server side, but more and more I am leaning elsewhere for the desktop. Ed Croft, RHCE
